Method and capability to yield gesture-based, touchless communication between user and electronic device. The system identifies hand or finger gestures by utilizing depth-mapping-based camera sensor technology, eliminating the necessity of a touch or hover sensitive device. With the use of an inertial measurement unit or similar gyroscopic sensor(s), the system will be portable and be able to function as a wearable, In particular implementations, “mouse movement gestures”, “pinch gestures”, “twist gestures”, and other gestures of the like can, but are not limited to, be used to provide input, actuate commands, manipulate display(s), and allow access to applications.
